Welcome to Techy Nana's Techy Tips. This site is an eclectic mix of discoveries, thoughts, and experiences as I travel in the ever changing world of educational technology. You'll find "Cool Tools" and "Tips & Tricks" as well as sites and movies that aid in the quest for technology integration ~ no matter what the age!

I attended a book talk tonight for ‘The Kids are Alright’ by John C. Beck. It was somewhat unusual as the talk was held at the DEN in SL (Discovery Educator Network in Second Life). You could see our avatars (representations of our characters) typing away in mid-air as we responded excitedly to each others' posts. However, Second Life is a post for another day ...

One of the participants posted the website for the video A Vision of Students Today. What began as a 200 student Wiki collaboration emerged as a video. I found it to be thought-provoking and a great opening for discussion. I hope you do, too.

Meet Techy Nana (Mrs. Warren)

Me a Teacher Specialist in Technology?

These are the things that I hold dear: God and my faith, time with family, anything technology, getting lost in a mystery novel, WoW, wine tasting in Napa, knitting while traveling, and a cosmo by the fire with my hubby.
My personal belief ~ "A-ha" moments happen no matter what a student's age!
